Independent feedback from students who shortlisted, applied, and secured study permits through Lookup's dedicated country desks.
"The UK desk at Lookup changed my whole trajectory. Sir Bilal personally audited my CAS statement and conducted two 1:1 mock credibility interviews before my appointment. Visa granted in 9 days with zero interview calls from UKVI!"
"I had a previous refusal through a typical agency. The Canada Desk rebuilt my study plan from scratch, verified my GIC account with Scotiabank, and guided me through the Provincial Attestation letter. Approved in just 21 days!"
"Applying to German public universities seemed impossible with uni-assist and blocked accounts. Lookup's Germany Desk guided me through APS, Expatrio Sperrkonto, and visa slots. 100% free with no hidden charges whatsoever."
"Fastest offer letter I've ever seen! Monash issued my unconditional offer in 6 days. The Australia desk helped me craft my Genuine Student (GS) statement with solid financial proofs. Truly professional guidance."
